Cookie Policy

Last updated: November 8, 2026.

This page lists what YakVid stores in your browser on our own websites. Advertising tags load only if you turn on Ad Measurement (below).

Services that load in your browser

We do not sell your data, and nothing below is used to build advertising profiles. Depending on the page, these services may load:

  • Stripe: when you pay or manage billing, Stripe's payment form loads from js.stripe.com. Stripe receives your card details directly (we never see the full number) and may set its own cookies to prevent fraud. See Stripe's privacy policy.
  • Product analytics (YakTrack, our own service at analytics.yak-tracks.com): coarse page, click, scroll, error and milestone signals, with form values masked. Some products also offer session replay, which records masked page content. In Europe we ask first. Elsewhere it is on unless you turn it off in privacy choices, and it stays off when your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track.
  • Support chat (YakDesk, our own service at yakdesk.com): where a product shows a Help & support button, the chat loads from YakDesk.
  • Advertising tags (Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising): only if you turn on Ad Measurement. See below.

Cookies we set

  • Session cookie (essential) — keeps you logged in and protects forms against cross-site request forgery. Deleted when your session ends.

Local storage

  • Theme preference — remembers your light/dark/system choice. Stored in your browser, never sent to us.
  • Privacy choices — remembers which optional measurement you allowed. Stored in your browser, never sent to us.

Advertising measurement (optional)

YakVid runs ads on Google and Microsoft Bing. To learn which ads lead to signups and purchases, and to stop paying for ads that don't, we use the following only if you turn on Ad Measurement in our privacy choices. It is off until you choose it, and it stays off when your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track. We never use it to personalise or retarget ads to you.

  • Google Ads tag (Google LLC / Google Ireland Ltd) — loads gtag.js from googletagmanager.com and may set _gcl_au, _gcl_aw or _gcl_gb (up to 90 days) to record that you arrived from a Google ad and whether that visit later became a signup or purchase. We send Google's consent signals with ad personalisation always denied. See how Google uses this data.
  • Microsoft Advertising UET tag (Microsoft Corporation) — loads bat.js from bat.bing.com and may set _uetsid (1 day), _uetvid (13 months), _uetmsclkid (90 days) and Microsoft's MUID to measure ad clicks, signups and purchases. See the Microsoft Privacy Statement.
  • yak_ad_attribution (our cookie, 90 days) — the campaign identifiers on the ad link you followed (gclid, gbraid, wbraid, msclkid, utm_*). If you sign up we may keep them with your account so we can report that signup, or your first payment, to the ad network from our own servers. We report the identifier, the conversion type, its time and its value; we do not send your name, email address or anything you create in YakVid.
  • yak_conversion (our cookie, up to five minutes) — a one-time receipt that lets this page report a signup or purchase that just happened, then deletes itself.

You can change your choice at any time from . Turning Ad Measurement off removes yak_ad_attribution and tells both tags to stop.
